Ever since i purchased my 2008 accord, i had noticed a 'squealing' sound upon acceleration, that seemed to be coming from the rear wheels.

Visually, though, i thought my rear wheels had a 'rusty' appearance on the inside of the wheel well. As time went on, the noise became more consistent, and was…
